Max Domi | C | 29 | 5 of 5 | 79
L2
| The second half of Domi's season in Toronto was much more consistent and impactful than the first. His role was elevated from a predominately third line forward to the top six with the Leafs. Plays quick and fast. Pressures opponents up ice. Has the pace to arrive ahead of of checkers and win pucks. Leans distributor more than shooter. Streaky offensively. Border line discipline at times. A bit of a 'powder keg' at times who plays on the edge. Opponents are aware when Domi is on the ice. Averaged 14:00 TOI - Deployed at ES and PP - Does not PK - 80GP - 9G-38A 8 goals at even strength - 37 assists at even strength 53 hits - 22 shot blocks - (+10) defensively Expiring contract - $3.0M - Pending UFA | May 2, 2024 | May 4, 2024 | |
Miroslav Satan | - | C | 18 | 1 of 1 | B+
RL
| Satan is the son of former NHL forward Miro Satan. Born in the USA when his father was playing in Buffalo. Massive frame. Nearly 6'7 tall. Has added over 25lbs in the last year as he starts to grow into his body. Skating mechanics are pretty sound for his size. Good edges. Stride in open ice could be longer and more powerful - but might improve as he matures. Difficult to defend along the wall and out front the net when stationed around the crease. Leans goal scorer more than play maker. Requires significant amount of time to develop. USHL rights owned by Chicago Steel. 2-way forward. Not punishing but definitely a handful to defend. | Apr. 30, 2024 | - |
Shane Vansaghi | - | C | 17 | 2 of 2 | B+
L4
| Heavy player in the trenches. Net front, occasionally, on the PP. Average pace and skill but compliments his linemates and absorbs contact along the wall / out front the net to open up space and extend plays. Majority of his ice time comes at even strength. Plays to a consistent identity. Power forward. Not likely to score a ton at the college or pro levels. Quickness and open ice pace will have to continue to evolve. | Apr. 25, 2024 | Apr. 26, 2024 |
Connor Dewar | C | 24 | 1 of 1 | 78
L4
| Traded from Minnesota to Toronto - 2024 Trade deadline Dewar is a bottom six forward who averaged 11:16 TOI with the Wild - deployed at even strength and the penalty kill Better than average shot.

Evgeny Kuznetsov | C | 31 | 3 of 3 | 75
L2
| Kuznetsov had a significantly down year in Washington before being dealt to Carolina - in the 43GP he was averaging 18:47 TOI - deployed in all situations - produced 6G - 11A - Pace is sound - pure skill - moody - has to push himself more - change of scenery might motivate him - plays with very little physical push back - despite his stature - only credited with 10 hits / 12 shot blocks - won 45% of his draws - Risk / Possible reward acquisition - Has to play in the top six and on top PP unit Signed through 24/25 - $6.5 million AAV - 10 team no trade clause | Mar. 1, 2024 | Mar. 8, 2024 | |
Casey Mittelstadt | C | 25 | 2 of 2 | 75
L2
| Before being traded to Colorado, Mittelstadt was the leading scorer in Buffalo 62GP - 14G - 33A 2G - 6A on the PP Averaged 18:00 TOI - deployed at ES and PP Element is offense - trending full time second line forward - great stick / puck touch / sees the ice in the offensive zone Occasionally a threat in transition but not a consistent play driver Does his best work from the perimeter in the offensive zone Not a ton of physical push back / grind to his game Credited with only 14 hits and 23 shot blocks Average defensively. Wins 47% of his draws. Pending RFA with arbitration rights - Qualifying offer set at $2.6 million | Mar. 3, 2024 | Mar. 6, 2024 | |
Sam Carrick | C | 32 | 1 of 1 | 77
L4
| 4th line / depth forward who has the hockey IQ and enough pace to match up against middle six forwards / opponents Active stick on the PK. Rotates and pressures effectively. Wins 51% of his draws. Brings a physical element - credited with 137 hits and 27 shot blocks through 61GP in ANA Knows what he is - doesn't stray outside his skill set - depth offense - 8G / 3A Expiring contract - affordable - 850K | Feb. 25, 2024 | Mar. 5, 2024 | |
Trevor Zegras | C | 22 | 3 of 3 | 78
L1
| Remains out of the Ducks lineup, recovering from surgery for a broken ankle. Limited to 20GP so far this season. Averaged 17:00 TOI - ES and PP#1 Dynamic offensive talent who has holes in his game defensively and, at times, lacks a full 200ft effort. (-5) defensively at time of his injury. Took a step back offensively as well (4G-3A) with all of his assists coming on the PP. Room for significant improvement in the face-off circle (40%) Plays with pace. No doubt top line offensive skill. Needs to be only average defensively to have his element stand out as the primary positive in his game. Signed through 25/26. $5.75 million AAV. | Feb. 19, 2024 | Feb. 23, 2024 | |
Morgan Frost | C | 24 | 4 of 4 | 78
L3
| Frost has been challenged by the coaching staff in Philly to provide more consistent compete in all three zones / get more consistently involved outside of producing offense. He's generally answered the bell. Through 46GP - 9G- 18A and a (+6) defensively. Mid-range push back physically - 37 hits / 40 shot blocks Top 9 skill. Not shy directing pucks on net when he gets a look (90 SOG) Face-off circle continues to be an area that needs attention. Winning only 47% of his draws. | Feb. 21, 2024 | Feb. 23, 2024 | |
Shane Vansaghi | - | C | 17 | 1 of 2 | B+
L4
| A bit of a throwback style. Power forward. Hard to play against in the trenches - along the boards and out front the net. Extends plays by using his frame as an advantage / pushing opponents of the puck. Empties the tank every shift. Average skater. Average skill. No frills Easily identified. Struggles to find a role on any special teams at the USNTDP - but has the kind of skill set that could be used as a net front presence on the PP | Feb. 10, 2024 | Feb. 11, 2024 |
Jack Roslovic | C | 26 | 2 of 2 | 78
L3
| It's been a tough year for Roslovic. He started the season relatively well - scoring 2G-6A in his first 14GP - but he's now suffered through a prolonged slump that has resulted in 0G - 4A in 21GP from November 11th - January 30th. His game has been perplexing. When he's 'on' he has the hockey sense, pace, and skill to be deployed in a variety of situations. Leans distributor more than shooter but has some net drive in his game via zone entries / when he gains the edge in transition. His TOI in CBJ has been on the decline - averaging between 11:00 - 15:00 per game - mostly at even strength - some secondary power-play - and no role on the penalty kill. Pending UFA. Contract carries an AAV of $4M. Bottom six forward who, when at his best, can slide in to a middle six role. Ability to play both center and the wing is a plus. | Jan. 28, 2024 | Feb. 6, 2024 | |
Morgan Frost | C | 24 | 3 of 4 | 79
L3
| Generally answering the challenge he has been presented with the Flyers. His primary element has always been offense. He has the pace and puck skill to impact the game offensively, but isn't 'high end elite' - so Philly has asked him for more defensive detail / buy in / and he's vastly improved in the category. At the All-Star break 39GP - 7G-15A - (+6) On the season he has averaged 15:28 TOI - 12:57 ES - 2:29 PP - does not PK 5G-11A at even strength Not physical - credited with only 22 hits and 32 shot blocks Room for improvement in the face-off circle (45% | Jan. 27, 2024 | Feb. 2, 2024 | |
Trevor Zegras | C | 22 | 2 of 3 | 79

Owen Griffin | - | C | 16 | 1 of 1 | B+
MJT6
| Owen is getting his feet wet at the OHL level. The 6th overall selection in 2023 OHL Draft. Historically he has proven he can produce offense. Equal parts shooter / distributor / play maker. Extends plays. Can be a threat to create off the rush. More quick than fast. Added strength will result in more separation at the junior level. Competes. Involved. Doesn't shy away from traffic. A rookie finding his way. Needs time. Offense will come. A mostly depth role this year. Offense has been slow to arrive. Sees some time on the second PP unit. | Jan. 17, 2024 | Jan. 18, 2024 |
Morgan Frost | C | 24 | 2 of 4 | 79
L3
| The Flyers want Frost to play with more detail in all three zones - and bring consistent compete He has been trending in a positive direction - especially in his last ten game segment from December 14th - January 6th - producing 3G-4A - (+3) Ice time ranges from 13:00 - 19:00 depending on special teams Deployed at ES and PP Element is offense.

Fabian Wagner | C | 19 | 2 of 2 | B+
L4
| Winnipeg selected Wagner in the sixth round (175th) in 2022. The left shot forward will slot into Team Sweden's bottom six forward group. Wagner is a strong skater. He's quick out of the gate. His speed is an asset on the penalty kill. He pressures the puck in his zone and up ice. Wagner is unlikely to see a role on the power-play. It will be a bonus for team Sweden if he chips in with some secondary offense. Wagner, in his current form, is best described as a two-way 'energy' forward. | Dec. 21, 2023 | - | |

L4

He contributes on the PP in a middle bumper / deep slot role. Johansen also has some long 'lags' in his game. There are nights he is capable of more output and consistent consistent compete.

Max Domi | C | 28 | 4 of 5 | 75
L3
| His last five game segment - between November 8th - 19th - provides insight into the ups and downs Max has been going through to start the year in Toronto. The move to the middle, on the third line, appeared to have energized him and he started to provide more offense and drive play more consistently. His TOI has ranged wildly ... from a high of 14:09 ... to a low of 7:58 in the segment. The bulk of his ice time comes at ES. He has a minor role on PP#2.

| Glendening is a veteran role player who logs an average of 11:31 TOI. He's deployed at ES and PK. Glendening is a capable skater who has no issues keeping up at NHL pace. He also provides some push back and willingness to block shots. At this stage of his career he's trending towards being a specialist. He can match up vs middle six opponents and take key face-offs in all three zones. Through his first 12 game segment he scored 1G, was a (-3) , averaged 9:29 ES and 2:01 PK and was credited with 19 hits and 11 shot blocks while winning 57% of his draws. | Nov. 6, 2023 | Nov. 7, 2023 | |
Brett Howden | C | 25 | 1 of 1 | 73
L4
| Howden has turned into a reliable 2-way forward who can provide depth minutes at ES and secondary PK. He has good size, moves well, tracks up and down the ice for the full 200ft, and provides occasional depth scoring. Howden is willing to lean on opponents. He pushes back in the trenches. Through his first ten game segment to start the 23/24 season he averaged 13:05 TOI - 11:55 ES - no PP - 1:09 PK - scored 1G-2A and was credited with 10 hits and 5 shot blocks. | Nov. 2, 2023 | Nov. 5, 2023 | |

L3
| Things have been trending in the wrong direction for Max, dating back to the end of last season in Dallas. In his last 30 game segment he has scored 2g-9a. He's a (-6) over that span. Understanding it takes time to adjust to a new team, a new role, and fit in with new line mates, the team needs his game to go to another level. Monitor three zone detail, on and off the puck, and his ability to extend plays in the hard areas of the ice with more tenacity. Hopefully he start to produce more, offensively, while being hard to play against and opening up room for his line mates. Through the first ten games as a Leaf he's averaging 13:43 TOI - 12:30 ES - 1:12 PP 0G - 4A - 16 PIMs - (+0) - 4 hits - 2 shot blocks | Oct. 28, 2023 | Nov. 4, 2023 | |

Pressures the puck up ice as F1 on the forecheck. Secondary offense on projection. Attempting to play with more power / push back / net front presence this year than last. Needs time to fully define his overall game. Being deployed in all situations in London.

Nazem Kadri | C | 33 | 2 of 2 | 73
L2
| It's difficult to sugarcoat things when analyzing the current state of his overall game. He's struggling to play to an identity. At his best, in the past, when he bordered on impacting the game as a pest who produced offense. At this stage he isn't nearly involved enough or competing hard enough up and down the ice. There's no doubt he's a better player than he is showing. He's slumping. To start the season he's averaging 17:47 TOI - 14:25 ES - 3:17 PP - 0:04 PK He's only produced one assist and he's an early (-10) after ending last season a team worst (-19) Two bright lights are the fact he is winning 54% of his draws and he's directing pucks on net (23 SOG in first 8GP). He's clearly frustrated. | Oct. 24, 2023 | Oct. 27, 2023 | |

Teases but hasn't sustained momentum for an entire season. More detail in the defensive zone required. More determination. Was averaging 13:28 TOI before injury. Deployed ES and PP. | Oct. 24, 2023 | Oct. 27, 2023 |

| Acquired by Calgary in the Tyler Toffoli trade with New Jersey A 3F who provides some secondary scoring. Better than average skill. Can be deployed in a role on PP#2. At times he pushes the play off the rush. Some net drive but not a heavy player for his stature. So far, in Calgary, he's averaging 13:28 TOI - 10:55 ES - 0:41 PP - 1:51 PK Adjusting to a new team and new system. A work in progress adapting to new defensive zone system. Mixed results to date.

Jack Drury | C | 23 | 1 of 1 | 79
L3
| Selected in the second round (42nd) in 2018. Has proven he can contribute offensively at the college level (Harvard), in the SHL (Vaxjo), and the AHL (Chicago Wolves), but offense has been slower to arrive at the NHL level. Moves well. Can push the play in transition / gain the edge on zone entries. It's easy to see he has better than average puck touch and vision in the offensive zone. Unfortunately for him, the Hurricanes are a deep team and he is mostly being used in a depth role. Having said that, he has been deployed more on the PP in recent games - including 4:16 versus Colorado on October 21st. Overall, he is averaging 10:46 TOI - 8:57 ES - 0:59 PP - 0:49 PK - through the first seven games of (23/24). Competes. Has good puck touch. Can play fast. Has the hockey sense to be used in a variety of roles. Needs to improve in the face-off circle (46%). | Oct. 24, 2023 | Oct. 26, 2023 | |

Disrupts opponents down low in their zone. Tracks back. Works. Checker. Averages less than 10:00 TOI ... doesn't have a role on any special teams. Needs to find a way to be more reliable in the face-off circle. | Oct. 24, 2023 | Oct. 25, 2023 | |
Michael Rasmussen | C | 24 | 1 of 1 | 76

| Big body forward who isn't necessarily a power forward as much as he is simply big and long. Bulk of his TOI comes at ES and PK. Averaging 15:58 - 13:49 ES - 2:01 PK Not a threat off the rush / in transition. Average plus skater up to speed. First three steps and edges are somewhat labored for the pace of the NHL game. Extends plays along the boards. Hard to handle out front the net. Shields defenders. On the PK, when he fronts the play, he is hard to make plays around. Blocks shots. More of a bumper than physically imposing. | Oct. 24, 2023 | Oct. 25, 2023 | |
Peyton Krebs | C | 22 | 1 of 1 | 76
L4
| Somewhat undefined. Not elite in one category but average plus in most. At even strength he's deployed as a 4F, occasionally a 3F, but he also has a role on the second PP unit and PK unit. Averaging 13:19 TOI - 10:29 ES - 1:26 PP - 1:24 PK Quick to space. Up ice he can pressure opponents as F1 on the forecheck / create turnovers on occasion. On the PP he's also quick to retrieve pucks and re-establish control for the unit / slide net front area as the play moves up top. On the PK he provides energy / decent spatial awareness and rotation. Room for improvement in the face-off circle (46% | Oct. 21, 2023 | Oct. 23, 2023 | |

Casey Mittelstadt | C | 24 | 1 of 2 | 76
L2
| Took a significant step forward in (22/23). At the beginning stages of contributing in a full time 2F role. Element is offense. Good stick and puck touch. Sees the ice in the offensive zone. Generally makes plays from the perimeter. Doesn't provide a heavy interior game or lean on opponents on the wall, but when he gets time and space he will move to high danger areas to make plays at the net. Averaging 16:39 TOI to start the (23/24) season - ES 14:43 - PP 1:54 - very rarely used on the PK / if he sees time killing penalties its generally in a clean up role with time winding down on the PK. Room for improvement in the face-off circle (31%). Zero hits and two shot blocks through five games. Fitness has improved. Detail has followed suit. Only needs to be average in the defensive zone and play to his offensive element to have positive impact for the group. | Oct. 21, 2023 | Oct. 23, 2023 | |

Leans play maker more than shooter. Can be dangerous on the PP. Has the ability to almost QB a PP unit from the half wall / rotating up top in the zone. Makes plays through seems. Has to be respected off the rush. Defensive detail ranges at times but he has improved his three zone game a great deal over the last year of his development. Leans 2F. The kind of player who needs to find a home in the top of the lineup and given opportunity to play to his identity. | Oct. 14, 2023 | Oct. 20, 2023 | |

Off to an excellent start in 23/24 Averaging 17:18 TOI at ES and PP#1 His pace is barely adequate for today's NHL game but he makes up for it with his hockey sense and unique three zone approach. Continues to find a way to get under the skin of opponents. Has a role as a weak side distributor and net front presence on the PP.

| Free Agent signing in Toronto - summer 2023 Split time between Chicago and Dallas in (22/23) - led the Blackhawks in scoring - his splits looked like this: Chicago 18:17 - ES/PP - 60GP-18-31 Dallas - 16:11 - ES/PP - 20GP - 2G-5A Surprisingly only credited with 22 body checks the entirety of the year - but continues to play with a presence - brings combination of energy / compete / secondary offense and a 'rat' style Likely to de deployed at ES and PP#2 - Discipline ranges - can lose focus and hurt the team with unnecessary penalties at times - but no doubt he is hard to play against and battles. | Sep. 27, 2023 | Oct. 3, 2023 | |
Drake Batherson | C | 25 | 1 of 2 | 79
L2
| A big body forward who isn't overly physical but uses his size and length to his advantage. Handles the puck very well. Good release. Sees the ice. Moves well. Averaged 18:36 TOI in (22/23). All of his ice time comes at ES and PP#1. 8G-25A at ES / 14G-18A on the PP. When he has time and space he can beat goalies from the flank or middle of the ice. Defensive detail has significant room for more commitment. Team worst (-35) The kind of player who needs to play in the top six to be effective. | Sep. 24, 2023 | Oct. 2, 2023 | |

RL
| Depth prospect who hasn't, yet, solidifying a role at the NHL level Works - competes - empties the tank every shift Quick to space - not shy about engaging in the hard areas of the ice Up ice he pressures pucks as F1 - creates turnovers Has some escape ability in tight areas - coming off the boards / half wall Secondary scorer at the AHL level - potential 4F if recalled in energy / checking role Sound three zone detail / hockey IQ / awareness | Sep. 17, 2023 | Sep. 25, 2023 | |

L4
| Relentless competitor who brings a combination of energy / secondary or depth scoring as a prospect Has the IQ to be used in a variety of roles - leans shooter more than natural distributor - Extends plays battling along the boards and out front the opponents net Good skater - has added more explosiveness as he matures The fact he can be used up and down the lineup makes him an attractive prospect to monitor A full season in the AHL is required to define his NHL upside | Sep. 17, 2023 | Sep. 25, 2023 | |
Roni Hirvonen | C | 21 | 3 of 3 | 75
L4
| Bottom six NHL prospect who provides ample compete and energy Extends plays along the boards - tenacious - involved Not naturally gifted with the puck on his stick Potential NHL depth scorer but more likely a checking style forward who could PK Good skater - more quick than fast Needs seasoning at AHL level to better define upside | Sep. 17, 2023 | Sep. 25, 2023 | |
